Audunn Ludviksson - Scottsdale AZ
Joseph T. Hillman - Scottsdale AZ
Assignee:
Tokyo Electron Limited - Tokyo
International Classification:
H01L 214763
US Classification:
438643, 438653, 438680, 438683, 438685
Abstract:
Method for depositing a nitrified tantalum silicide barrier film on a semiconductor device including a silicon-based substrate with recessed features by low temperature thermal CVD of tantalum silicide and subsequent nitrification. The nitrified tantalum silicide barrier film exhibits high conformality and low fluorine or chlorine impurity content. A specific embodiment of the method includes depositing tantalum silicide by TCVD from the reaction of a TaF or TaCl precursor vapor with silane gas on a 250Â C. -450Â C. heated substrate, then exposing the tantalum silicide to a thermal NH treatment or an NH â or N -containing plasma treatment.

Abstract:
A method and system are provided for monitoring material buildup on system components in a plasma processing system. The system components contain emitters that are capable of producing characteristic fluorescent light emission when exposed to a plasma. The method utilizes optical emission to monitor fluorescent light emission from the emitters for determining system component status. The method can evaluate material buildup on system components in a plasma, by monitoring fluorescent light emission from the emitters. Consumable system components that can be monitored using the method include rings, shields, electrodes, baffles, and liners.

Method Of Using A Sensor Gas To Determine Erosion Level Of Consumable System Components

View page
US Patent:
7064812, Jun 20, 2006
Filed:
Aug 19, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/642621
Inventors:
Audunn Ludviksson - Scottsdale AZ, US
Steven T. Fink - Mesa AZ, US
Assignee:
Tokyo Electron Limited - Tokyo
International Classification:
G01N 21/00
US Classification:
356 72, 356316, 250282
Abstract:
A method and system are provided for monitoring erosion of system components in a plasma processing system. The system components contain a gas emitter that can release a sensor gas into a plasma process environment. The sensor gas can produce characteristic fluorescent light emission when exposed to a plasma. The method can evaluate erosion of system components in a plasma, by monitoring fluorescent light emission and a mass signal from the sensor gas.

US Patent:
7202169, Apr 10, 2007
Filed:
Sep 26, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/670795
Inventors:
Lee Chen - Austin TX, US
Audunn Ludviksson - Scottsdale AZ, US
Assignee:
Tokyo Electron Limited - Tokyo
International Classification:
H01F 21/302
US Classification:
438689, 438722
Abstract:
A system and a method to remove a layer of high-k dielectric material during the manufacturing of an integrated circuit. In one embodiment of the invention, an etch reactant is employed to form volatile etch products when reacted with high-k layers. Alternately, high-k layers can be anisotropically etched of in accordance with a patterned photoresist or hard mask, where a hyperthermal beam of neutral atoms is used to aid in the reaction of an etch reactant with a high-k layer. Alternately, a hyperthermal beam of neutral atoms or a plasma treatment can used to modify a high-k layer, and subsequently etch the modified high-k layer utilizing an etch reactant that reacts with the modified high-k layer. In still another embodiment of the invention, the hyperthermal beam of neutral atoms is used to etch a high-k layer through physical bombardment of the high-k layer.
